Bifunctional electrocatalysts, capable of efficiently driving both the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), are crucial for advancing electrochemical processes. While noble-metal-based catalysts are widely recognized for their role in oxygen processes, current state-of-the-art designs are limited to either ORR or OER activity, presenting a notable research gap. In addressing this challenge, we have developed a novel nanocomposite catalyst derived from a nickel-based metal-organic framework ().

Methods & Measures: WORDS is a prospective study that explored patient-clinician communication and patient decision making. Participants recorded clinical visits through a downloadable mobile application.
This retrospective study was conducted to describe clinical and investigational findings and to determine the effect of thiamine treatment on mortality in patients admitted with acute non-infectious encephalopathy to a hospital in Sikkim between October 2019 and March 2021. Amongst 37 included patients the median age was 4 mo (IQR 3-5), 62.2% were males, 75% were exclusively breastfed infants, 67.
